About

Discover Lake Eyasi and One of Tanzania’s Last Hunter-Gatherer Cultures

Lake Eyasi is a seasonal salt lake located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Unlike Tanzania’s famous wildlife parks, this area is best known for its cultural significance rather than big game, offering a rare glimpse into traditional ways of life that have changed little over centuries.

The Hadzabe people live around Lake Eyasi and continue to practice hunting and gathering using bows and arrows, relying on deep knowledge of the land. Visitors can observe daily activities, learn about traditional survival skills, and gain insight into one of the oldest cultures in East Africa.

The region is also home to the Datoga tribe, skilled blacksmiths and cattle herders. Combined with dramatic Rift Valley landscapes and peaceful lakeside scenery, a Lake Eyasi tour from Arusha offers a meaningful and educational experience beyond classic safari routes.

I was very impressed with the service and professionalism of Kenya Assist! Communication through What’sApp before my pick-up was fast and efficient, and all my questions were answered with ease. My driver, Gideon, was prompt and a pleasure to talk to on my trip from Nairobi to Emali!!! I highly recommend!
